The annual Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game often features some of the best talent in the country and in years past it has also catapulted prospects way up in the recruiting rankings. Prospects Chris Jones (from three-star to five-star) and Kool-Aid McKinstry (from four-star to five-star) are just a few examples of players who have made big jumps after impressing at the event. After taking in practices this week, here's a list of the players who helped themselves the most with strong showings.

Anthony was one of the fastest players in attendance at the event and showed off his wheels during practice whenever given the opportunity. He's still relatively slight of build (listed at 160 pounds) but with his speed all he needs is the smallest opening to make a big play. He will likely play a similar role to Wandale Robinson at Kentucky and given his game-breaking ability he should find a role pretty quickly in Lexington.

Ole Miss needs to re-stock at the wide receiver position and it's easy to see why they targeted Dillon. He has good size and strong hands, but what really stands out is his footwork. He glides across the field and runs sharp, crisp routes, which will make him a favorite of his future position coach in Oxford. The Rebels shown an ability to get the most out of talented wideouts and it should be a good fit for Dillon.

Another massive prospect committed to the Rebels, Clayton dwarfed nearly every other player on the field. With great size and a good frame, he's only going to get bigger and stronger at the next level and he already has a good feel for the game. He might be a candidate to play on the offensive line as well but if he stays on defense his length and motor will serve him well. Clayton is locked in with Ole Miss.

Listed at close to 400 pounds, Cooper has shed weight over the past six months, getting down to the 350 pound range. As one would expect, he's much lighter on his feet and impressed during one-on-ones with his blocking ability and aggressiveness. Auburn has entered the picture late and might push to add him on Signing Day.

Harris was an impressive performer on the camp circuit back in the spring and turned heads again during this week's practice. He went toe-to-toe with fellow Auburn commit Caden Story during one-on-ones, winning his share of battles and surprising with his balance and footwork. Harris has the ideal frame for a tackle and appears to be getting stronger while not losing any of his fundamental technique.

Harris is part of a massive defensive front for the Mississippi Team, lining up with a pair of 300-plus pounders. But what stands out about Harris is how well he carries his weight. He almost looks more like an offensive lineman than a defensive lineman but he also fires off the ball and has a good first step. Those attributes, combined with his length, make him a nightmare for opposing interior linemen. Harris is committed to Ole Miss.

A one-time TCU commit, McAlpine is one of the top uncommitted defensive linemen in the Southeast and continues to slide under the radar of SEC programs. He showed good power and leverage while working at defensive tackle, routinely overpowering teammates in both team and one-on-one sessions. Oklahoma State is high on his list but Texas Tech is also making a strong push to land his signature.

A one-time Mississippi State commit who recently committed to Tennessee, Thomas impressed with his speed and coverage abilities. He took on the challenge of defending speedy Alabama wide receiver commit Kobe Prentice and more than held his own, running stride for stride and winning his share of the battles. Listed as a safety in the Rivals.com database, Thomas showed that he has the coverage skills to be used at a number of different positions in the defensive backfield.

Already a member of the Rivals250, Williams is already held in high regard. But he clearly took his game to another level since the last time we saw him in person in the spring. He was a force coming off the edge during both the team and one-on-one portions of practice and showed an ability to use pass rushing moves with his hand on the ground or as a stand up rusher. He will be a problem for opposing quarterbacks in the years to come. A one-time Florida State commit, Williams appears to be headed for Mississippi State.
